Aurora Australis - Folio Society limited first edition
Published by Folio Society, UK, 2021
Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: None issued. George Marston (illustrator). 1st Edition. A superb replica of a memento from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration to commemorate the centenary of the death of Ernest Shackleton. Limited to 500 copies worldwide. Devised by Ernest Shackleton to sustain his men?s spirits during the winter darkness of 1908, Aurora Australis was the first book ever produced in Antarctica: a beautifully illustrated miscellany of polar life printed inside the British Antarctic Expedition?s cramped hut. To mark the centenary of Shackleton?s death, the Folio Society has created a superb replica, in a limited edition of just 500 hand-numbered copies. Quarter-bound in the smoothest calfskin with beechwood Venesta boards, Aurora Australis is complemented with a commentary by Shackleton expert Jan Piggott. With only around 80 copies made originally, and no other facsimile reproductions in print, this is a rare chance to own one of the greatest mementos from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
